RE: State of Arizona Contract RFP Solicitation No. BPM005423

To align with our ongoing business investments, rising energy costs, and continued wage pressures, we will be making a modest adjustment to our prices. Effective September 1, 2024, an average 3.0% net price increase will be implemented across the list price for HON products.

HON RCI Statement

HON practices Rapid Continuous Improvement (RCI), a methodology through which we support employee members’ efforts to better every area of our business. Modeled after the acclaimed Toyota production system, the agile approach—in which we scrutinize every facet of our procedures to identify areas of waste, and then refine and streamline processes—allows us to mitigate supply-chain risks, use natural resources more efficiently, and add business value. Being lean has also made us increasingly green over the years, with our efforts reducing the company’s emissions and energy use.

We offer the RCI process to interested HNI dealers and customers, working with them to identify areas of improvement.

Using data and cost information, we select targets, set team goals, and track progress to produce quantifiable results.

To date, we and our customers have used RCI to achieve significant savings in warehouse handling costs, order processing time, and warehouse space and delivery costs. We also have reduced product costs, keypunch errors, accounting inefficiencies, order-processing times, and damage to products.

Other examples of HON RCI successes include:

• Using process capability and technology to improve first-time yield and quality of seating upholstery, reducing scrap and repeat work.

• Creating value-stream designs that minimize transportation needs, leading to more efficient assembly processes.

• Capturing overspray wet and powder paint to re-blend into new paint.

RE: December 1st, 2024 Price Increase

Dear Valued Partners, We hope this letter finds you well and business strong!

We are writing to inform you of that effective December 1st, 2024, we will be implementing a general price increase across the majority of ERG International commercial furniture product lines, averaging 5% or less.

We understand that any price increase can be challenging to absorb. Please know this decision was not made lightly and we made every effort to minimize the impact of the below rising costs on our customers.

However, in order to maintain the quality of our products, we must adjust our pricing accordingly based on several factors, including:

• Rising Material Costs: The cost of raw materials, such as wood, metal, and upholstery fabrics, has continued to rise significantly over the past year.

• Increased Labor Costs: Wages for our skilled craftsmen have also increased, reflecting the rising cost of living.

• Supply Chain Challenges: Ongoing disruptions in the global supply chain have led to higher transportation costs and longer lead times.

We are confident that the value and durability of our office furniture will continue to exceed your expectations. We appreciate your understanding and continued business – thank you for your partnership and support!

January 2025 price adjustment

Dear Partners, I hope you and your business are doing well. Our commitment to supporting our dealer partners remains unwavering. We aim to be your most reliable partner, helping your dealership grow and succeed. With the breadth of the OFS and Carolina portfolios, now enhanced by high-performing acoustic and modular products from ROOM, we are confident you can meet the evolving needs of your customers.

Our goal is to offer the best price-to-design value in the industry. We continuously monitor global market trends and industry activity to remain competitive. While some costs have leveled, overall operating, logistic, and supply elasticity pressure remains for the necessary scale and speed of production and delivery of made-to-order, durable goods.

Last year, we held or lowered prices with reductions ranging from 0% to -20% on 25+ series and hundreds of models and options. Over the last 36 months, our adjustments have been modest and consistent to plan appropriately and provide value to your customers while protecting the profitability of your business.

On Monday, January 20, 2025, we will implement a 5.0% price increase on the OFS and Carolina product portfolios. Please see the details below:

● OFS and Carolina products 5.0% price increase, effective Monday, January 20, 2025

● No price increase on ROOM products

● Updated catalogs in CET Designer are targeted for mid-November release

● All other eTools programs will be updated in Mid-December

All orders placed prior to Monday, January 20, 2025, must ship by April 25, 2025, to receive the current list pricing. If an order requested delivery date falls beyond this window, Order Entry will apply the price increase unless a Regional Vice President (RVP) has approved the list price hold even if the order is placed prior to January 20, 2025.

GSA, Vizient, Premier, Healthtrust, Omnia, and Sourcewell use "Current Contract published price list.”

These and similar contracts will not have a grace period. Therefore, quotes shall expire on January 19, 2025. As other contracts review this price adjustment, we will communicate progress and new effective dates based on their approvals. However, we may not know if they approve or when it will take effect until later this year. Therefore, we’re asking our partners to make all quotes valid for 30 days, and no later than January 20, 2025, in anticipation of a possible price increase. For contracts with price holds, new discount policies may emerge. We will communicate those as they are finalized.

Thank you for your commitment to OFS, Carolina, and now ROOM. Your partnership means so much to us and we truly appreciate it.

Sincerely, Matt McCormick National Sales Manager ofs.com 1204 East Sixth Street Huntingburg, IN 47542 800.521.5381

July 2, 2024

Greetings, We are providing early notification of an upcoming price adjustment for your awareness. Effective Monday, September 30, 2024 we will be implementing a market price adjustment at an average rate of 2%. The average 2% adjustment across the portfolio is comprised of 0% on some series and 3% on others, within the Kimball, National, Etc., Interwoven, and David Edward brands.

To minimize the impact, many products that have been exempt from price increases over the past two years will continue to see no increase.

This adjustment ensures the integrity and value of our flagship series, many of which have meaningful enhancements launching soon.

New pricing will be updated in our September e-tools release and online price lists by September 9, 2024. Please note that current pricing will be honored for all orders received at Kimball International through Friday, September 27, 2024.

Thank you for your continued support of Kimball International.

Regards, Lisa Schmidt Sr. Director, Trade Marketing Kimball International

Memorandum

To: Valued Krug Dealers

From: Marketing

Re: 2025 General Price Increase

Date: October 15, 2024

Due to external factors impacting the cost of raw materials and freight, we are announcing a general price increase of 5% on all products, effective January 1st, 2025. This increase enables Krug to continue to deliver the highest quality products and services that our loyal clients have come to demand and expect from our brand.

We are communicating notice of the price increase well before the effective date because, as much as we understand there are often extenuating circumstances impacting delivery of POs, this year, we are unable to hold 2024 pricing, for any reason, beyond December 31. Orders received on or after that date will need to include the price increase. Existing quotes for orders that will be placed after December 31st should be requoted with 2025 pricing. Any quotes requested from engineering and bids with 2024 pricing will include a comment about the price increase.

The 2025 price guides will be posted to our website November 18th and the current 2024 price guides will remain on the website until the end of December.

In addition, we are updating 20/20 and 2025 pricing will be released mid-November.

We will send additional information as soon as it's available about the approval and acceptance of the new pricing for our state, GPO, GSA, VA and IDIQ contracts.

Please reach out to your local Krug rep if you have any questions.

Thank you for your understanding, support and valued partnership.

Subject: U.S. Price Adjustment Notification

Dear Valued Customer, The U.S. economy continues to be unpredictable through an extended period of economic uncertainty. Prices for consumer products and commodities remain volatile.

Since our last price adjustment, the SAFCO team has worked hard to proactively explore every avenue to ensure our products are competitively priced and available for delivery.

Moreover, last year we took steps enabling us to lower prices by an average of 15% on our popular Swift offering. However, given current rising costs of doing business, it is necessary to adjust pricing on a small subset of our products.

Effective September 30, 2024, orders received on the following products will experience a list price adjustment:

• Flat File list pricing will increase 7%;

• Rumba, Mailroom, Mobile 1000, and Four Post list pricing will increase 4%;

• Flip n Go, targeted seating and storage solutions list pricing will increase 2%;

Please see the detailed list of products on the Safco Dealer Portal.

Thank you for your continued support of SAFCO and our comprehensive offering products that empower people to do their best work.

RE: State of Arizona - Price Increase Notifications #CTR067395

To Whom It May Concern:

Hightower will be implementing a price adjustment in March 2025, our first since April 2023.

While full details are still to be determined and shared, we expect increases to not exceed 6%.

Additionally, Hightower will be reducing our freight charge percentages per shipping zone.

While Hightower primarily manufactures our furniture in High Point, NC we do import some components from our partners in Denmark, Spain, and Sweden. Over the last two years, we have absorbed all cost pressures incurred from domestic and international suppliers and find it necessary to adjust accordingly.

Our Production and Operations leadership hold Lean Manufacturing Certification and Six Sigma experience which they apply to mitigate cost through:

● Using smaller batches for faster throughput

● Organizing workstations for efficient flow

● Using data/metrics to understand and resolve problems

● Continuously evaluating, refining, and documenting process

● Implementing standardized work instructions and eliminating variation

● Involving employees across teams to identify waste and improve production

RE: Contract Price Increase

Dear Arizona Department of Administration Procurement, Davis Furniture Industries, Inc. implemented a 4% price increase on orders received on or after 1/1/2025. At this time, we do not intend to submit a price increase for the upcoming period of March 1, 2025 – September 1, 2025.

This decision was made due to rising supplier costs and general operating expenses, which have continued to increase over the past year. While we've worked hard to absorb as much of these cost pressures as possible, this adjustment is necessary to maintain the quality of our products and continue providing the level of service our customers expect.

If you have any questions or need further information regarding our decision to implement this increase, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your partnership and continued support of DAVIS!

RE: AZ State Contract Price Increase Justification

To whom it may concern, While we have been able to keep our yearly price increases to a minimum, Effective January this year our 2025 price list went into effect. This price increase of no more than 5% is primarily due to rising material costs which as you might be aware have increased due to market conditions. corrugate suppliers notified us at the end of 2024 to expect a minimum of 6% increase across all corrugated products. This price increase took effect on October 1st. 2024. In addition, logistics and transportation have also played a significant role in our price increase projections for this year. Utilities and overhead have also been added to this year’s list of larger items to consider in terms of increased production costs. We have all been affected by the rise in inflation of recent months, and 9to5 Seating is no exception. Finally, in anticipation of the upcoming tariff changes we have put in place a 3% tariff on all orders, effective February 2025.

Thank you for the privilege of continuing to be a trusted supplier. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Sincerely, Ignacio Rosales GSA Specialist 9to5 Seating LLC ignacio.rosales@9to5seating.com
